Independent Gaming Chip on the iQOO Neo 7 Pro: Use

This co-processor is there to enhance the frame rates in games. The company claims the Independent Gaming Chip (IGC) can bring about an increase in frame rates of up to 90 or 120 FPS. Say, a game supports 90Hz FPS, then with this IGC, it can get up to 120 frames per second. 

This process is backed by reduced power consumption by the GPU and heat dissipation by the largest-ever liquid cooling chamber on an iQOO phone.
